I ranked Brain lara no.1and kallis no.2 .There is no other batsman who can score big hunred consistently than Brain lara.He is the only one who can ply big innings.Kallis is more solid than others.Unfotunately he couldn't scored double hundred but he is one of the best.

Lol. U don't even have ponting there... you can't have a poll that doesnt
include one of the main contenders. |
|
|
My two favourite Batsmen:
Jacques Kallis is a very solid but destructive batsmen and not to mention he can bowl as well. I also like Michael Clarke for his amazing batting talent at such a young age |

He does have a slightely higher average, buthe also has a higher ir equal strike rate, which is also important..normally SR isnt important, butif you average very hogh and have a great SR, you are a fantastic batman. Yes Shahid has a high SR, buthis average is too low.. this is an example. Ponting deseerves to be in that poll. Lara, Tendulkar, Ponting are the best batsmen of the last 10 years, i am not saying this on their form, some other players are in better form then say Sachin, but Sachin is better. |

No doubt that Warne and McGrath are great bowlers and Ponting hasn't faced them, but its not like Ponting has been playing against 14 year-olds. He has also played agaisnt good bowlers.
I must say that after Ponting's amazing performance in his 100th test, he has won me over. He is the best batsman in the world today. |

Yea, no wonder he is a great batsman. He faces the best bowlers in the world in the nets, where there is no pressure on him.

Yes, RSA had teh same luxury with Donald and Pollock. Paki with Waqar, wasim and Mushtaq. But the thing about the Aust attack is that u have the best pace bowler, u have an express pace bowler, the best leegie in the world and a left armer swing bowler plus macgill (awesome legspinnner) what variety, in the nets u get it all. |

Yea, that's awesome practice. You can face a lot of the different kinds of bowling and not be under pressure or anything.

Blimey, Lara's a mile ahead, can't help thinking that if Ponting was there he'd be ahead though.

Dravids a brilliant test match player and I'm surprised he didn't get more votes. He can be boring in the test arena though

geatest player is the one on whom the team depends if u look at it ponting is accompanied by ghilchrist hussy langer martyn they all perform together to win for aus. on the other hand every pakistani and indian always depend on inzamam and dravid and they most of the time performs and win for their respective teams lonely.so i would rate inzamam and dravid.

I am going to go for Sachin Tendulkar.
|
|
|
"His classical hits down the ground, met with a checked drive, were Tendulkar at his best. It was though he had a new lease of life." - Sachin Tendulkar's return to cricket with a 91-Ball century.

It looks like that somebody voted more than 1 time.
I think its Sachin Tendulkar(that doesn't mean Dravid isn't the best batsmen of modern era). Tendulkar is the inspiration for young cricketers. |

Jacques Kallis 1 vote! This guy is 29 and has 6000-9000 test & odi runs and has years ahead of him maybe even another 10 this guy could end up with 15,000 runs in both forms of the game!

It's quite obvious that this poll has been abused......I mean are there even 1038 members on this site??????
I highly doubt it!
